MistyMountain Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I am looking for a writing curriculum that teaches the mechanics of writing like how to write a paragraph, how to use strong words and how to structure things etc that can pair with the history and science we are doing for a 3rd and 5th grader. It does not need to include spelling or grammar because that is covered already. I feel I could find stuff for copy work or dictation myself. Would IEW work for that or is there anything out there?

sdobis Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) IEW would work. Another good one is Meaningful Composition. It is very religious, but they carry a secular version. I think it's called Write On. I'm not positive. It's sold through Character Ink. Oh darn, didn't see the part about pairing with history and science. IEW may be better for that. I'm not positive.

Maryam Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 IEW accomplished this beautifully for us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAttachedMama Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would suggest IEW or Treasured Conversations. :) Good luck! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyMountain Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was considering Treasured Conversations before but I thought that used copywork to teach writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawlas Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Another vote for IEW. My two older kids (both dysgraphic) went through IEW-A using dragon dictation and it's been fantastic! They don't love it, but it gets done and they're learning. Next year I plan on using a similar method to start outlining paragraphs/pages in their science and history lessons.
